I wonder if it's worth developing Mac applications anymore. Apple's policies are hostile to its own developers (increasing restrictions on third party apps, the app store) and SwiftUI is not ready yet (for Mac development). I'm mad at Apple a lot. Why give them my time?

I don't even know why I need to upgrade OSX just to develop for SwiftUI and it only runs on newer OSX versions.

Because all of the fake-native apps absolutely suck and personally I am (genuinely) way the heck more likely to pay for your product or service if you offer me a real application.

Why take the time to even post?

  It's valid criticism.

    Is it? It just sounds like a negative opinion, rather than anything that qualifies as ‘criticism’.

Mac dev is such in a bad spot right now. Cocoa will die, but who knows when. SwiftUI is not ready. I wanted to build a Mac native product but decided against it. Maybe in a couple of years.
